The Revolution might not even have happened in the same way (if at all) without Stalin, his role in the pre-October party was not insignificant. Plus there are butterflies to consider.

There are differences between DeLeonism and Debs' brand of socialism, but I wouldn't characterise one or the other as necessarily being more "scary". Could you clarify?

As we all know, anyone who calls themselves a revolutionary socialist literally wants to create the USSR.

I would vote for the party with the longest name, but it's not on the ballot, for the record it was Gerechtigkeitsbewegung für Parteienverbot – gegen Lohn-, Gehalts- und Rentenkürzungen – für Arbeitsbeschaffung. Also in the running for amusing names were: -Unitarianist Union of Germany -German...

This is probably the last time I will vote for the RSDLP since it it the last election before the 5th Congress consolidated the power of the Bolshevik faction. Before this point a vote for the RSDLP was a vote for revolutionary socialism, afterwards it was a vote for the Central Comittee and...

Where's the fun in that? It would go Republican Republican Republican . . . Democrat Democrat Democrat

Well, yes, but I meant an OTL one. Yours wouldn't fill the void left by Retrospective US Elections because it already exists alongside it. As for running one myself, it might be possible by that time but I do have somewhat crazy work hours at the moment so we would have to see. I probably...

Eh, having some kind of vote has basically become a weekly fixture, and I would hope none of the mods get angry at something filling the place of this one once it is gone. It would basically be a continuation of the status quo, which doesn't seem problematic to me.

Shame, it would be interesting given there would probably be a lot of coalition governments. Perhaps someone else will.

Presumably they don't succeed. Question to Nerdlinger: Will you be doing congressional elections when the project is done? The numbers don't make much sense if we assume OTL Congresses.

That means he was opposed to the IWA, I'm guessing? He probably came from the rural faction of the party. His party platform still had socialist elements and I was voting without any illusions that he was a revolutionary, so I'm pretty relaxed about this revelation :p

Proto-socialism is socialism in its early stages of ideological development, a lot of the great debates were still not had or even forseen, so it is not possible to categorise these early socialists with modern categories, hence "proto-socialist". I said "a lot". I didn't say "all". True, the...

A lot of us voted for Streeter for the proto-Socialism...

At the time I posted it the Kadets were leading more than OTL, which would be a more right-wing result than in OTL. And the Kadets were liberals in the sense of the time, free-marketeers, and most of them were nobles. Finally, the RSDLP of 1906 has little to do with either the Bolsheviks of 1917...

Perhaps one of the only times in history when AH.com is supports a more right-wing option than OTL? The only others I can think of is whenever TR is involved in something...

Not in TTL, surely?

Why not Libertarian or Libertine?

Well, the White Power candidates got 14%, great job everyone.

I think this is the first time the far-right has had more votes than far-left. And I say far-right accurately, this is the period during which Libertarians courted a tactical alliance with White Nationalists.

The Lib Dems are in the lead? If I needed more convincing evidence that the board is out of touch with reality...
